Ghulam Mohammed

Ghulam Mohammed (1903 – 17 March 1968) was an Indian film score composer, who is notable for Hindi musical films such as Shair (1949), Pardes (1950), Mirza Ghalib (1954), Shama (1961) and Pakeezah (1972).

He received National Film Award for Best Music Direction (then called State Awards for Films) for Mirza Ghalib (1954). The shooting of his last film, Pakeezah, was held up for many years due to marital and personal problems between the film producer Kamal Amrohi and the lead actress Meena Kumari, and was finally released only after Ghulam Mohammed's death.
